Do we call it capitalism or is it exploiting a loophole?

SAN GABRIEL, Calif. – For months, neighbors noticed a number of pregnant Asian women coming and going at all hours at an upscale townhouse development in suburban Los Angeles.

They finally found out the home was being used as a maternity center for Chinese mothers paying thousands of dollars to give birth in the United States so their children would automatically gain citizenship, city officials said.


I am personally just not sure how to look at it, it is undeniably legal, but I can't help but think it is unethical. Then again, it is very similar to how Bruce Lee became an American citizen.

I'm a fan of loophole exploits.

Perfectly legal and ethical as far as I'm concerned. If you are going to have a stupid law that says anyone born here is a citizen then this is what you get. If it doesn't make sense then.......... change the law.
